For anyone on Facebook, FindmyPast and the British Newspaper Archive have had 1 month £1 offer for the last 2 or 3 months. You have to use the code from the ad. For the newspapers, this month I think is MAR01

It looks like the 1939 will not be included in a subscription. I'm excited about its release but disgusted that it looks like it will be an extra charge. What's the point of a subscription if you don't get access to major new records.

The 1931 census was destroyed during the Second World War, and the conflict meant the 1941 census could not be taken. The 1939 Register is, therefore, the only surviving record of the people of England and Wales in the 30 year period 1921-1951, and fills the gap left by the missing censuses. For family historians as well as anyone interested in 20th century Britain, the information it contains is invaluable.

For the first time ever online, the 1939 Register (including names, addresses, occupations, marital statuses and more) will be available for you to explore on Findmypast in just a few days' time. Records will be available to purchase for $10.95 per household, or $37.95 for our 5 household bundle ($7.59 per house). Findmypast subscribers will be entitled to a discount, which we will email you about.
